Title: Waterbed mattress
IPC: A47C27/08
Filed: 1980-11-03
Abstract: An improved waterbed mattress with adjustable hydrostatic wave absorption comprises an outer water- inflatable bag-like enclosure 50 provided with an inner wave- absorbing water bladder 56.

Title: Fibre optic bundles
Inventor: ARMOUR JOHN SINCLAIR
IPC: G02B6/06
Filed: 1982-05-19
Abstract: The production of coherent fibre optic bundles has hereto involved either the positioning of a bundle of tubes which are then drawn together to form a coherent fibre optic bundle, or the flat parallel laying up of individual fibres which are then rolled and wrapped in such a way as to retain coherence when the fibre optic bundle is formed. The invention disclosed uses optical fibres 14 as the warp of a cloth 10 produced by weaving, the weft of the cloth 12 holding the optical fibres relative to one another so that sheets of the cloth may be folded or rolled to form coherent fibre optic bundles. An appropriate choice of weft would allow the extremities of the bundle to be fused to fix the optical fibres in position, while the weft between the extremities could be removed, for instance by the action of a solvent, to allow the extremities to be easily relatively movable. <IMAGE>

Title: Coasting control device for a motor vehicle clutch
Inventor: LUTZ DIETER
IPC: B60W10/10
Filed: 1983-03-11
Abstract: A clutch (3) which can be engaged and released by a controllable clutch drive (11) is arranged in the torque transmission path between an engine (1) and a gear transmission (5) of a motor vehicle. By means of a control switch (15) the clutch (3) is released whereby the vehicle can coast free-wheeling, saving fuel, with the engine (1) working in idling rate. On actuation of a brake pedal (15) a control circuit (13) engages the clutch (3) and at the same time shuts off the fuel supply to the engine (1) by means of a fuel valve (23). The engine (1) thus brakes the vehicle without additional fuel consumption. Alternatively the control circuit (13) can have constantly shut off the fuel supply of the engine (1) in free-wheeling operation. Under control of a pressure detector (45) detecting the suction in a servo-brake unit (41) the control circuit (13) engages the clutch (3) when the pressure rises to values which no longer guarantee operation of the brake unit. The engine (1), normally stationary in free-wheeling operation, is rotated with the fuel supply shut off and generates the suction necessary for the working of the brake unit (41). Before the clutch (3) is engaged the control circuit (13) switches on a starter motor (47) which makes the drive-output rotation rate of the engine (1) equal to the rotation rate at the input shaft (25) of the gear transmission (5).
